Winnipeg has requested FA deadline now be changed to April 1st.

I most definitely agree with this statement!

I am less concerned about losing Burris (though that really does suck - he is still a good QB) than I am about players thinking this organization is radioactive.  Changed the CEO, GM and HC and players still clearly have no interest in playing here.  That is a huge problem.

Well, put me in the "shocked" column.
 
We must absolutely be considered a joke of a franchise for Burris to not come here. He'd rather sign with a team that offers direct competition? Good lord.
 
The idea of Henry Burris never really appealed to me, my first choice was always Collaros but for the Bombers to skip out on Collaros and identify Burris as their #1 choice and then NOT get him?
 
This is the worst offseason.

Again, the Bombers offer was the one with the most money. What else could he have done? If someone doesn't want to come here you can't force them. Period.

So, you're saying you're not into hank as much as hank is in you…shanks.

If Kohlert *wanted* to play in Ottawa you would think they would of signed the guy to an extension by now?

People don't understand how be cap works. They think every other team spends $5 million. And the bombers spend $1 million. It doesn't work that way.

We only have 3 Canadian surefire starters under contract for 2014 (Watson, Greaves, Morley).  Scary, isn't it?  If we don't have tons of money to spend, that is gross mismanagement of the roster.  Most teams have 7-10 Canadians who can start and that's where you should be dropping the bulk of your cash... a QB and your top Canadians.  Paying good money for Henry Burris should have zero impact on our ability to sign free agents.

When was the last time a team signed and had a press conference on a Weekend.... specially Superbowl weekend!???
 
Would make only sense to make the announcement mid week...

Apparently, Banks wanted the Lions to extend him or trade him.  Doesnt mean BC was going to cut him, just that they werent going to extend him right now.
 
The bombers need leadership.  It's a good move as we transition to a winning team.

If only we could swing a trade for Harris as well.

The end of an era.

It really would be nice to know WHO decided and why they gave Boltus play time while Goltz sat on the bench.....
 
I'd feel at least slightly relieved if it was revealed that Burke insisted on playing him rather then MB....

Lets see what happens *if* Collaros starts off cold and then LeFevour gets some playing time....  wouldn't it be hilarious if the Zach-Attack was put on hold and didn't get his incentive bonuses because LeFevour and Masoli were getting more reps ...

Wouldn't it be awesome if he was cut then signed with the Blue Bombers

17 is discrediting Burris way to much. Signing Burris would instantly give us our best qb since 2007.

Breaking: Fans of one team hopes rival team does poorly; please alert masses.

And so begins the jumping on the Burris bandwagon by 17.... I never thought that I would see this day

At least this year the Plan B option is not Buck. Very lucky to have 3 guys available this year.
